about

A fictionalized representation of my preparing to move away.

This might be the first song I recorded. The slowed down drum loop came from someone's sampler. The doom-y sounding low part was a 1 second loop of Wurlitzer piano stretched 3 octaves down to 8 seconds. After I thought I finished the song, I added a live drum part; one omni mic in my big, warehouse style space. I liked it so much, I added a second track the same way and hard panned them.

This recording, with no restrictions or pre-set boundaries, is very much unlike how I normally work. I think this is also what inspired me to record this album. I liked working solo, with no preset list of ingredients, no other musicians to veto a part, and no expected genre in which I had to operate.

lyrics

Consider talking
but he twists the words.
Now this is involving
innocent bystanders.
Logic so easy
to topple
always too easy
to topple.

And now he's left cleaning up.
And now he's daft and coming up.
With responses, increasingly defensive.
And commentary, completely reactionary.

Considering the reasons
and heading for the exit
"This is the last time I'll see,"
he thinks to himself,
"this series of rooms
and the air I breathe
will be the last I breathe here.

And he says aloud,
"Farewell to all I leave here;
please have a smile,
and to those who have looked forward
please burn in hell."
